Newly released 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System data and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC)'2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey Data Summary and Trends Report show that US adolescents continue to suffer from poor mental health and suicidality at alarming rates. These data alone would be cause for concern, but the COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to further erode adolescent mental health, particularly for those whose mental health was poor prior to the pandemic. Given the status of adolescent mental health prior to COVID-19 and the impact of COVID-19, health professionals and schools must partner together now to mitigate potentially deleterious health, mental health and education impacts for children and adolescents.
新发布的 2019 年青年风险行为监测系统数据和疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的“2019 年青年风险行为调查数据摘要和趋势报告”显示，美国青少年继续以惊人的速度遭受心理健康不良和自杀的困扰。这些数据本身就令人担忧，但 COVID-19 大流行有可能进一步损害青少年的心理健康，尤其是那些在大流行前心理健康状况不佳的人。鉴于 COVID-19 之前青少年心理健康的状况以及 COVID-19 的影响，卫生专业人员和学校现在必须合作，共同减轻儿童和青少年可能产生的有害健康、心理健康和教育影响。
